    Goblin Presents: A Vacation Anthology

    Goblin Presents: A Vacation Anthology is a bundle of five short and memorable novellas written to fulfill your wanderlust and satiate all your romantic desires.

    Pre-Order Now: Weekend with a Hosa by Nikki Clarke

    Zeba Mayes has been on her new home planet, Rhy’n, for a year and–she don’t like it. Her fellow Earth transplants are either hooking up with their (admittedly hot) alien hosts or trying to make Rhy’n feel like Earth, which is opposite of the alien experience Zeba hoped for. As one day blends into the next, she starts to believe her satisfaction for true other-worldliness might exist elsewhere.

    After saving a visiting alien emissary’s young son from drowning, Zeba is gifted a life debt: a vacation home on a new planet. Jumping at the chance to see if a change of scenery refreshes her perspective of life off-world, she wastes no time packing a bag. Her new property’s lush, tropical landscape and purple beach access are perfect for a little exploration. Unfortunately, her supposedly private vacation home already has an occupant–a seven-foot-tall, horned Hosan named Treii.

    Treii is celebrating a promotion from his King with some time at his family’s vacation home. He plans to relax, do some hunting, maybe invite some friends from a neighboring quadrant, but that plan gets blasted into space when Zeba arrives. He wants her, and even as she eye-rolls her way through their every interaction, he hopes to make their weekend one that lasts forever.

    Weekend with a Hosa is part of Goblin Presents: A Vacation Anthology, a bundle of five short and memorable novellas to take you on the trip of your dreams. Written to fulfill your wanderlust and satiate all your romantic desires.

    A Fairy Blue Moon: Eastwood Fairies Book One

    Pre-Order Now!

    This isn’t the end. The blue moon will light the way.”

    Those were the last words my mother spoke before she and most of our elfin people were killed. Betrayed by our fae cousins, they scorched our home and polluted our magic before driving the survivors into the secluded wilds. Fifty years later, when the beings of Fourwood mention us, they whisper feral. We’re history, a people no longer worth mentioning and only feared due to tales of our savagery.

    In the decades since our culling, my brothers and I have dragged ourselves from the ruin, rebuilding in secret, slowly restructuring, and undermining the control of the fae beneath their noses. We fear nothing, and we’re ready to reclaim our seat at The Gathering, where we’ll face those who tried to destroy us and they know then what’s coming.

    The only thing left is to take The Wood, the ruthless, uninhabited heart of Fourwood Forest. There’s ancient magic there for the one brave enough to claim it.

    We have a vision, but a runaway fairy with shimmering brown skin incites our hate and ignites a passion that shakes the outcome of the future we were promised.

    New Release: Ba'ir

    Lyqa Planet Lovers Book 6

    “Jesus.” The horrified whisper of the woman, Karen, who is gathering the uniform I am meant to wear while employed at this large shopping center doesn’t faze me.

    At one point, many years ago, when I was still a youngling, having someone look at me and feel compelled to call upon their personal deity may have bothered me, but I long lost any sense of caring. At least when it comes to how I look. And I know what I look like.

    Not only am I keenly aware of every jagged etch and groove in my skin. I can remember, like it was only a turn ago, how they were made with claws and teeth, sometimes broken metal and stone. The blunt points were the worst, poking and prodding until they finally breached the flesh.

    But the memory of that pain is nothing compared to the rage I feel at my lehti, Ivy, the one responsible for my suffering. It's a rage I doubt she knows exists.

    But she will soon.
